I am an Architect and I have enjoyed a challenging and diverse range of experiences since qualifying in 1997. I have spent much of my career involved in interior design, working internationally in Canada, the USA and most recently Turkey. The Projects have included Yachts, multi outlet Retail, Restaurants, Hospitality, Point of Sale and Residential. My direct responsibilities have varied over the years and projects, but duties have pretty much covered everything from initial Client Briefing, through Concept Design, Coordination with other Architects, Structural Engineers, General and individual Trade Subcontractors (incl. Plumbing, Electrical, Stonework) to final delivery to the Client. I have spent a great deal of my time on Site, controlling quality, providing additional information to Contractors and dealing with conflict resolution. I am knowledgeable and productive with the usual software packages, and have particularly good experience with 3D construction modeling for production (Rhino) and preparing conceptual renderings (Maxwell). I have spent many years working as an outside resource for various companies including conventional building architecture, naval architecture as well as yacht and hospitality design. I can offer the following services and would love to have a conversation about your requirements; • Concept and design development • Preliminary and final layouts, elevations, construction details and workshop drawings. • 3D modeling from 2D drawings • 3D conceptual renderings • Material and fixture specification
